Opportunities for Parental Involvement (School Year 2018—19)

Jordan has several active parent groups including a PTSA, Jordan Parent Action Committee (JPAC), English Learners Advisory Council (ELAC), Concerned African-American Parents (CAAP), and Pacific Islander Parent (PIP) groups. Parents and the community are also encouraged to participate in the School Site Council (SSC), Athletics Booster clubs, and the Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS) programs.The Jordan Parent Information Center (JPIC) is a resource room that serves as a hub for many of the parent groups on campus. It is a location for our volunteers to coordinate their activities. The center also provides parents and community members with workshops on a variety of topics such as basic computer skills, college preparation, and positive parenting. The PTSA is present at school events, running fundraisers and membership drives, raising money for teacher appreciation activities and projects other school funds don’t cover.JPAC meets monthly to plan parent events/workshops, provide volunteer supervision opportunities, and help staff the parent center.ELAC provides access to services, tutoring, and training for English Learners and their parents.CAAP allows for parents, students, and teachers to work collaboratively in addressing concerns related to the academic achievement and sociocultural needs of our African-American students and families. Parents are also voting members of the School Site Council which helps identify learning needs of the school by analyzing school data and creating a plan for addressing these needs. The School Site Council also plays a vital role in the management of state (LCFF) and federal funding (Title I) expenditures for such plans and interventions. Parents are vital partners, and the Jordan family encourages them to become involved in all aspects of school life.
